Hi all,

Thanks for providing your availability for the next two weeks. The only
date/time that we have quorum (7) is this coming Monday, May 14th 3-4pm. I'm going to send

out a calendar invite now to keep that on hold, but it's my preference to try to find

something a little later if possible. The other contender is Thursday, May 24th, either
4-5pm or 5-6pm. For those of you who marked that you are unavailable during those times

(Bob, Patrick, Lee, Paul, Rich, and Channing), could you please take another look and see

if you can make it work?

If it has to be Monday, I'll make it work. Agendas will need to go out on
Saturday (48 hours in advance to comply with Brown Act).

Subject: SPBID Special Meeting

Members of the Board,

I'm reaching out because I'd like to schedule a Special Meeting of our
Board to discuss and vote on 2019 assessments. The BID is required to submit an updated
assessment database to the City Clerk's office by June 1st. Per our Management District
Plan <https://www.dropbox.com/s/oweb60tynt4b9p7/2017.05.26%20SP%20MDP%20FINAL.pdf?dl=Q> ,

the Board has the right to increase assessments by up to 5% annually. The BID has not
increased assessments for the last 2 years, and for a number of reasons (which I will
briefly touch on now, but will go into more detail at the meeting), I am going to
recommend an increase in 2019.

At a glance, here are the factors contributing to higher operating costs:

* Growth of both clean and safe teams

o LACC contract now includes 2 additional full-time staff, 2 Clean Team
Specialists, and 4 additional corpsmembers

o Streetplus contract has 6 additional ambassadors

o 1 new truck

o 2 new Segways

o 8 new bicycles

* LA City minimum wage increase

* Office space needs, relocation, rent

* Staff salaries being brought up to competitive market rate

* Financial planning through 2022

Again, I will provide more detail into each of the above items at the

meeting, and will also have a specific recommendation for the increase.

Given the June 1st deadline, I would like to schedule the meeting for the
week of May 21st. By Wednesday May 16th, please complete this Doodle poll

<https://doodle.com/poll/vvpcki34krr5k34w> to indicate your availability. A minimum of 7
Board members is required for quorum. [Please note that just like our regular Board
Meetings, a Special Meeting is subject to the Brown Act (ie. it is open to the public and
notice must be given 72 hours in advance)].

Thanks in advance and please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Ellen
